Roy Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Gang, Ok, where is the voltage regulator physically located on a 7013S???? If it is located where I think it is, my next question is how do get to it to work on it? And, how do you adjust it while the tractor is running? Looking at the parts manual it seem the regulator may be located beneath the gas tank or battery. Am I getting close? Thanks,
thedaddycat Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 It is behind the battery on the 3300/3400 tractors, mounts with at least one of the bolts that holds the variable lever quadrant if I recall correctly...
HubbardRA Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 On the Homelite T13 it mounts directly behind the battery. It has a secondary plate that it bolts to, which then bolts to the right side of the dash support. No way that you can adjust while running if it is mounted there.
Roy Posted October 28, 2003 Author Posted October 28, 2003 Has anyone ever relocated the voltage regulator on a 7013S from the original location to the top of the engine (like a B-1 regulator)? This would get it out in the open for troubleshooting and adjusting (provided there is clearance beneath the hood).
HubbardRA Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Roy, I don't see a problem with that. Just copy one of the older brackets and bolt it on. I mounted the voltage regulator above the battery on my AC716H because it originally had a Kohler and I put in a B/S and didn't know where the regulator should go. I've never adjusted one of these units.
Roy Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 Rod, They are adjustable if you have a manual or know what you are doing. But the settings change with temperature so you have to make an adjustment, put the cover on, wait a while, and then check the results. It also takes an ampmeter in series and a voltmeter to see what is going on. Best advice, however, is do not tamper unless you have to.
